Degree apprenticeships: a guide for higher education providers

Degree apprenticeships funding competition 

In September 2023 we launched a funding competition for eligible providers to submit bids to support the development of Level 6 degree apprenticeships. Up to £40 million of funding will be distributed via three funding waves between January 2024 and July 2025 to support the following programme aims:

• Expansion of existing provision among providers already offering degree apprenticeships (strand 1)
• Expansion of provision among providers new to the degree apprenticeships market (strand 2)
• Increasing equality of opportunity in Level 6 degree apprenticeships (cross cutting theme).
